Hermione's POV:

The next morning, I woke up early to head to the library. I had only one more thing left to research. I already knew who Iris and Chiron was. Iris was the Greek goddess of the rainbow, and Chiron was the famous Greek hero trainer. All I needed to know is what Camp Half-Blood is to figure out who they are, and maybe why they are here.

Here is my thinking: I think that they are related to Greek culture, and the language that Harry heard Thalia speaking on the train is also Greek. They probably all can speak Greek fluently.

30 min later…

The weird thing is I can't find anything about Camp Half-Blood (I found all the Greek-related books in the library), but I did find something about tossing a coin in mist to communicate with others and scraping the best parts of their food and burning it in a brazier. Now I know something about them – they're demigods. Even though they're probably not real, but all of the evidence tells me so.

Demigods are half-human and half-god. They do the things I listed above, too. Also they're children of the Greek gods, so it's natural they can speak Greek.

Now that I've got that figured out, the next question to consider is: Why are they here?

55 min later...

Well, I didn't find anything about why they are here, but I have two theories:

The demigods could be Death Eaters of You-Know-Who. In that case, they've come to spy on or kill us, so I must inform everyone immediately.

However, they could be coming here to help us (if they even know about Hogwarts). In that case, I should figure out why they are helping us and what danger there is. Of course, there is the danger that You-Know-Who is coming back, but since they're demigods, they can't really help us.

I have decided to confront them, and if they look like they want to oppose us, I will have Harry and Ron sneak up on them and capture them.

10 min later...

I've been waiting here in the Gryffindor Common Room with Harry and Ron for about 7 min, and they've finally woken up. I told Harry and Ron to quickly hide under the chairs and wait for me to make the signal... If I make it. I also decided to look casual by quickly grabbing a book and sitting on a chair.

The next moment, they came into the common room and sat down together to whisper about something.

As they were talking, I stopped "reading" my book and said, "You're demigods, aren't you?"

I expected them to be shocked and denying it, but Annabeth just said, "I'm impressed. Even though Percy's not exactly a demigod."

"Dumbledore told us this type of thing was going to happen," Percy said. He muttered something about "sealing the sound barrier".

He continued, "Yes, we are coming to help you. But I wish not to tell you about ourselves until the war starts and we must. But I can tell you a few things: Dumbledore asked us to help."

"What do you mean by a war?" Hermione asked.

Percy replied, "I can detect Harry and the others there, you know. So please don't try to ambush us. But anyway, there will be a war. Voldemort has joined forces with some of the powerful beings from our world. Only we together can defeat him. You cannot defeat the beings from our world, but we have no way to defend against magic either. And that... is all I can tell you for now. Please keep the news quiet."

All nine demigods left, with an exception of a swirling black vortex left there, but it immediately disappeared.

Harry's POV:

I think they're nicer than I thought before. I must admit that they are probably not Death Eaters, but I still need to be sure. That's why Ron and I decided to help Hermione confront them, whoever they are.

So, I'm hiding under a chair right now with Ron and they've come in, I've heard.

All I heard was Hermione saying something about demigods, then I couldn't hear anything anymore. I peeked out from under the chair. They were talking, I was sure of it. But why couldn't I hear them?

Maybe they made us can't hear them anymore with a spell, but I didn't hear them say anything or pull their wand out. Hmm... I've got to ask Hermione later.

Anyway, I kept watching them as they opened a circle-shaped thing of darkness and walked into it. Percy was the last one to do it as he looked right at me but then walked into it too. The circle thing was still there, and Hermione quickly stood up, bit her lip, walked into it, and disappeared.

We quickly came out from under our chairs and tried to walk in there too, but it disappeared before we were able to get in.

Percy's POV:

We teleported back to Dumbledore's office to report the news of the secret is found.

"The secret has been discovered," I said.

"By Hermione, isn't it?" He asked.

"Yes."

"How many know?"

Right as Dumbledore asked that, Hermione teleported in.

"What are you doing here, Hermione?" Percy asked, but he actually knew exactly what she was doing.

Thalia said, "Please leave us alone, Hermione. You will find out our godly parents soon enough."

I opened a portal right in front of her, signaling her to go.

I then turned to Dumbledore and said, "Only Hermione for now. Harry and Ron were trying to listen, but I made a sound barrier so they couldn't hear us talking. When do you think we should reveal our identities?"

"Probably a few days before the war starts, which is in a few weeks, I think. But in the meantime, think about the order you will reveal yourselves in, what you will say, and all of that stuff."

"Well obviously, we need to say our names, godly parents, and titles," Annabeth said.

"We also need to say our powers," Percy added.

Thalia said, "We should also make a card to read off of."

Percy said suddenly, "Chaos is calling me. I have to go." He teleported to the Void immediately.
